Perry County Memorial Hospital will sponsor a Future Nurse Camp June 8-11 from 8 a.m.-noon at the hospital.
The camp will give 15- and 16-years-olds an opportunity to observe the duties and responsibilities of a registered nurse.
Mary Comte, a staff registered nurse at the hospital, is coordinating the class, which will include lecture time, tour of the hospital and services, and some hands-on practice of some of the procedures performed by nurses.
The cost of the camp is $15 payable to Perry County Memorial Hospital before or at the start of the class.
Application forms will be distributed through the local high schools. A signed parental consent form will be required.
If there are questions, call Rita Brumfield, nursing service director, at 547-2536.
The deadline for applying is May 25.
